TO DR, PHIL L. ELLIOTT SERVING ALL WHO WANT HER SERVICE To tearful ecstacy at scenes by human sense unviewed, Trembles his moved sight, as the poet who clutches beauty's And feels forlorn of friend, when eyes behold, unseen, her magic soul. With wine of sweetest grapes, plucked from the unharvested abundance In virtue’s orchard, drunken to oblivion of faults and failures Of fellow human kind, his aged, but eternally youthful touch. Cools and soothes the forehead of mortal ignorance. As pours the shimmering waters of shaded rivulet over the submerged Foliage of nature’s most perfect garden. Oh! beloved master of Miltonic majesty. Whose soul so brightly shines, through each spoken word, As gleams the midnight moon through nocturnal veil in Autumn’s dampened sweetness, I cry to the spirits of all that moves, that the sod May spare your departure of intellect, and allow you To forever illuminate in spiritual self, Our darkling shapes to immortal light. With paces quick as steps the gentle farmer. When early chores call in impatient hunger from nearby shed, Guide our travel to thou discovered fountain of strength, Sweet with each draught of wisdom’s inexhaustible vintage. As listened beloved John in undistrubed rapture To the distant carol of winged song, Tune our languid ears, ere the fog settles to eternal dampness, And Earth receives her noble child. With appreciation full as brimming cup of honeycomb, When blooms in crowded numbers weigh to bowed stance, The august poplar, let us marvel the soul that Moistens thou cheek with joyful tears, As if the poet’s words are droplets of sweetest nectar, Tasted with understanding felicity. Teach us soon, beloved master. Thank you for your attention. I sincerely hope there was a reward for it. Elbert Hubbard says, “find gratification in ex alted thought rather than in bodily indulgence.” He was speak ing of Platonic philosophy. Plato was quite broad. So much so, his name was changed. Could your intellect deservedly change your name? Again, let us invite your participation. We welcome your composition. Respectfully, Johnny ESliott THE MARSHALL CLUB NEWS (Continued from Page 4) vice, but because he or she has demonstrated throughout the year that he possesses all four of the ideals of the Club. The members of the Marshal Club serve at all public functions of the college, such as lyceums, formal receptions, recitals and commencement. The active Marshals of the Marshal Club are: ni’ad Sak- hnini. Chief, Nazereth, Israel; Virginia Huggins, Chief, Boiling Springs, N. C.; Joy Lynn Bell, Durham, N. C.; Sally Thompson, Waxhaw, N. C.; Mrs. Betty Bates, Lincolnton, N. C.; Katherine Hazeltine, Dana, N. C.; Jane Crawford, Shelby, N. C.; Carl Gibbs, Greensboro, N. C.; Paul Riggs, Mt. Airy, N. C.; Forrest Teague, Shelby, N. C.; Bob Holder, Mt. Airy, N. C.; John Isiminger, Winston-Salem, N. C. The honorary Marshals of the Club are: Cecil Baucom, Rockingham, N. C.; Betty Jo Bivens, High Point, N. C.; Rachel Cloer, Alexis, N. C.; Lois Goodman, Fallston, Maryland; Nada Hester, Marion, N. C.; Helen Stinson, Ramsuer, N. C.; Lewis Toney, Mooresboro, N. C.; Doris Vance, Boone, N. C.; Janet England, Marion, N. C. (Continued from Page 2) years the Baptist State Convention has pledged on a gradu ated scale, $810,000 for the furtherance of the building pro gram. It is hoped that the $200,000 physical education building will serve as a community center for church and school func tions. A new science building, new dormitories, and administra tion building, and an outdoor theater will be erected. Again, the physical progress of the school takes second place. The gravest aspirations are for betterment in educa tion and a greater co-operative spirit. The most important problem to be coped with lies in convincing young people of the need for attending college. If this can be accomplished, half the battle will have already been won. The improvement of facilities would enable the college to prepare men and women for entrance into agricultural, in dustrial, and commercial fields, not merely as workers, but as trained workers. Dr. Elliott feels that this preparedness would forward the progressive trend and economic stability of our community. If we are to keep our college a free, closely-knit, community institution, the prayers and aid of all its staunch advocates and defenders must be forthcoming. The victory will form itself when students go out from Gardner-Webb as mentally and spiritually mature men and women. We, who are privileged to benefit from the conjoined sacrifices of a willing and tolerant community, owe a debt of gratitude. From the productive crop of labor sowed by willing hands and hearts, we are able to reap an abundant harvest of beneficial assistance. Fi-om this Pierian spring of knowledge, our Alma Mater, we drink of the water of noble aspiration and dedicated purpose. THE W HEEL — Bunny Price (Continued from Page 5) The Henry Winfield Price, Sr. household celebrated New Year’s Day in a big way in 1933, because that was the day Bunny entered and became very much a part of that family. He is one of four children. His only brother is at the Univer sity of Florida doing a splendid job filling the end position on their football team. It will be interesting to watch the future performances of one so modest, amiable, enthusiastic, and likable as our Cam pus Big Wheel . . . Congratulations to you, Bunny, and we are with you all the way! We are locking forward to seeing Bunny and the gang rack up victories for the Bulldogs. Bunny’s second love is foreign foods. He likes pizza pie and smorgasbord. THE WHEEL — Sallie Thompson (Continued from Page 5) thing more. It was a lucky day for us when Sally decided to further her education at Gardner-Webb. There is never a dull moment when she is around. Her philosophy of life is “Don’t let it worry you because it probably won’t ever happen” and where Sally is concerned it usually doesn’t. To sum it all up, we can say nothing more than the reason that we all adore Sally is because she is so wholesome in everything that she under takes. Congratulations, to you, Sally! Sally is taking a secretarial course and her ambition is to become a private secretary. But that ring on her third finger left hand is indicative that her career includes some- trips home with Gertie (her car). Page 1 3
